Virginia Shankle Bales, the outgoing chairperson of the school's annual fund, is now the first chair of Leadership Gift Committee at the school.

irginia Shankle Bales, 77MPH, 71C, got bitten by the public health bug early - even before finishing her college degree. A junior chemistry major, she walked down the street from Emory to the Centers for Dis ease Control and Prevention (CDC) looking for a summer job. "I just sort of wandered in, not quite knowing what public health was, not really understanding what CDC was," she says. Although there weren't any laboratory jobs for Bales that summer, there wa s an opening in tuberculosis control. She was hired. "I just got hooked on public health," Bales says. "It was fun, a time of great change. I hurried just as fast as I could to graduate from college so I could stay there," Bales says. When Bales started, it seemed to her that few women were moving into management positions at the CDC. Still, Bales moved quickly up the ranks at the agency, holding a variety of positions and being tapped for many special assignments. While most likely she'd banish the thought in her direct and engaging manner, Bales has been a role model for many in her 28-year CDC career. Now deputy director of the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Bales holds a job much like that of a chief operating officer. The center, with an annual budget of $550 million and more than 800 employees, has as its man date the prevention and control of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other chronic diseases that currently kill the majority of Americans. Additionally, the office now oversees programs in reproductive health. "I am responsible for making sure we have the resources, the staff, and the budget that pulls it all together," Bales says. "I have a particular interest in and responsibility for d eveloping new programs." One of Emory's early graduates of public health, Bales has promoted her school, hiring dozens of its graduates. "As you can imagine," she laughs, "I'm pretty supportive of it. I really feel that I had a gift by my Emory education. It explained so much to me about what public health was about. It was a time in my career when having that bigger view of public health gave me a context to understand what my little piece of it was." For the past several years Bales has served as chair of the school's annual fund. According to Director of Development and External Relations Kathryn Graves, Bales has been a vibrant leader in generating excitement about the annual campaign. Recently, Bales became the first chairperson of the school's Leadership Gift Committee. Her role at the school is changing as class sizes increase and the school gains more visibility and prestige. Along with the school's leaders, she is helping lay th e groundwork to communicate with and serve the growing number of Rollins alumni. "As the number of alums grows exponentially because of the large class sizes now, we're going to have the machine in place to make it easy for people to participate and contr ibute," Bales says. "You know, it was a very small program when I was there," she says. "And now I've got a degree from one of the most prestigious schools of public health in the country - in the world, really." - Stacey Noiles Jones
